Beach vendors go to the media after floods cause severe damage

Beach vendors in Pattaya have gone to the media to try and get local authorities to do something about a section of sidewalk and part of the beach that was badly damaged following Sunday nights heavy downpour which left much of beach road flooded.

Pattaya News reported that the badly flooded road that stretched from Pattaya police station all the way to South Pattaya had resulted in large quantities of sand being swept away, fallen trees and damage to the sidewalk, which made it near impossible for deck chair operators to work on Monday.

Videos were widely shared on social media showing many areas of the city badly affected by flooding.

With high season rapidly approaching let’s hope that some media attention might result in some swift repairs from city officials.
